Lisa Graves Told You So re Leonard Leo on The Nicole Sandler Show 6-4-25

      For many years, Lisa Graves has been exposing Leonard Leo for the sleazebag he is. The Dumpster fire in DC finally got the message! Lisa wrote about the man Extreme Court inJustice Clarence Thomas called "the third most powerful man in the world" in her Grave Injustice substack newsletter today, and joins us on today's show to show just how prescient she is... and give us the dirt she's been reporting on since before Leo orchestrated the scheme to turn the high court into the shit show it is today. You don't want to miss this... By [...]

Ethics, Hearings, Hypocrisy & Lisa Graves on the Nicole Sandler Show 5-14-25

     Ethics are important to Republicans ONLY when it's a Democrat engaging in questionable behaviors. That's more evident every day. But it cuts much deeper... they're quick to call out anything a Democrat does, like nodding off in an all-night hearing. But they have no problem with it's a Republican. It seemed like all we heard from them during the Biden administration was "the Biden 'crime family' is capitalizing on the president's office." But they're notoriously silent about the massive grift by Trump and his spawn -- from a luxury flying palace to golf courses and Trump Towers [...]

SCOTUS, DOGE & a Visit with Lisa Graves on the Nicole Sandler Show 4-23-25

 After a break yesterday for a fun show about music and reliving the good old days, it's back to the real world today. The news is insane, from the orange one playing games with the world's economies, tariff roulette, SCOTUS & judicial uncertainty and more questions than we can reasonably answer. But we'll try. Today, we'll catch up with Lisa Graves, the Nicole Sandler Show's legal expert, who joins us in her personal capacity as a concerned citizen who's got the legal bona fides to back up her information and opinions. A big welcome to Randi Rhodes listeners [...]

Wisconsin Win, Floriduh, Cory Booker & Lisa Graves on the Nicole Sandler Show 4-2-25

 Senator Cory Booker stood up yesterday - actually, the day before - an made history. Not only did he break former senator and lifelong racist Strom Thurmond's record for the longest senate speech in history, he also used it to denounce Thurmond's racism and the shameful chapter in American history he tried to prolong. Booker's speech and feats of strength also seems to have breathed new life into dejected Democrats, as he implored each of us to do what we can to save our nation from the ravages of Dump and his army of magats. When Senator Booker [...]

DoJ Veteran Lisa Graves Weighs In on the Nicole Sandler Show 2-13-25

    My friend Lisa Graves served in the Justice Dept under Attorneys General Janet Reno and John Ashcroft in both the Clinton and GWBush administrations. She's been chief counsel for nominations under then Senate Judiciary Chair Patrick Leahy, and her CV has many more examples of her legal bona fides. These days, Lisa is Executive Director of the watchdog group True North Research, but she appears regularly on this show in her personal capacity as a citizen, not representing any organization. Most of what D'ump & co are unlawfully doing was told to us in Project 2025. Check out [...]

RFK Jr is a Predator (and Best Laid Plans!) Nicole Sandler Show 1-29-25

  As the saying goes, the best laid plans… Lisa Graves, the unofficial legal expert of the Nicole Sandler Show, was supposed to be here today to help us get through the senate confirmation hearings for the would-be cabinet members in this new so-called administration. Unfortunately, Lisa was in a meeting that never ended. Good thing (I think) there was a lot going on today, including Robert Kennedy Jr’s confirmation hearing in the Senate Finance Committee. We’ll get Lisa back on soon… in the meantime, today’s hearing was a tragedy (to almost quote RFK Jr on abortion…) I spent the [...]

Lisa Graves, Senate Confirmation Hearings & More – Nicole Sandler Show 1-15-25

    Lisa Graves is a frequent and one of my favorite guests on the Nicole Sandler Show. Though she appears here regularly in her personal capacity as opposed to speaking for her organization, she has impeccable legal credentials, including time spent as Chief Counsel for Sen Patrick Leahy on the US Senate Judiciary Committee. So she knows her way around senate confirmation hearings. Today's hearings included Pam Bondi, TCF's second choice for Attorney General (after his first, even worse pick Matt Gaetz, withdrew) and Marco Rubio for Secretary of State, among others. An actual ceasefire with a potential end [...]

Lisa Graves on the Law, SCOTUS, nominations and more – Nicole Sandler Show 12-4-24

    If you're a regular listener of the show then you're familiar with today's guest, Lisa Graves. In addition to being one of my favorite people, she's also one of the most brilliant. She's currently Director of TrueNorthResearch.org. but appears on this show in her personal capacity offering facts and opinions based on her unimpeachable experience working in the DoJ under AGs Janet Reno and John Ashcroft, in the Senate Judiciary Committee as lead counsel for nominations and so much more. True North Research published a primer on what is now likely the playbook for the D'ump 2.0 [...]

Lisa Graves on Justice or Not on the Nicole Sandler Show 11-21-24

  One of our favorite guests here on the Nicole Sandler Show is Lisa Graves. Not just because she's one of the better angels among us, but she's also wicked smart and has the CV to back up her beliefs. These days Lisa Graves works as a governmental watchdog of sorts in her role as Director of True North Research. But she usually appears on my show in her personal capacity as a private citizen with great expertise on all matters pertaining to our Justice system and Dept of Justice, the Senate nominations and confirmation proceedings, and how things [...]
